Web Control
This section of the Navigation frame contains the Mange Connections feature which allows control of
compatible devices communicating with the target Master.
Managing WebControl Connections
This page (FIG. 34) is accessed by clicking on the Manage connections link. Once activated, this page
displays links to G4 panels running the latest G4 Web Control feature.
If the Master Security and HTTP Access options have not been previously enabled on the target Master, a
user does not need to Log into the Master to gain access to the Manage WebControl Connections page. This
page allows a user to view all G4 enabled touch panels running G4 WebControl.
 To establish a secure connection between the touch panel and the target Master, the panel must be
using a valid username and password (that can be matched to a previously configured user on the
target Master
) and the ICSP Connectivity option must be enabled within the System Level page.
 If at some later point, that user profile is removed from the Master, reboot both the panel and
Master. After reboot, the connection status of the panel (from with the firmware Setup page) shows
"No Encryption"
.
Installation of SSL functionality onto your Master causes security setup via Telnet to
be disabled. Although Telnet security configuration access can no longer be used on
the Master, a Terminal connection (using HyperTerminal) can still be established
using the Master’s RS232 Program port.
